Game On With Barrett-Jackson Auction Set To Begin Today

It’s game on here at the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Collector-Car Event, where three days of live coverage on the FOX family of television networks begins at 5 p.m. ET Thursday on Fox Sports 2.

The collector-car market is red hot these days, and without question, this year’s docket is the strongest ever assembled by Barrett-Jackson for a Las Vegas event. The expectation is for a fast-paced, high-energy event with lots of amazing cars.

As is always the case, there are plenty of bargains to be had on the opening day, with the quality of the cars — and the prices — continuing to escalate as the weekend goes on.

And rest assured there are cars, trucks, motorcycles and vehicles of every shape, size and color scheduled to hit the block at Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas today.

The first item scheduled to sell? How about an Italian-built 1959 Vespa motor scooter?
